FAQ About The Impact of Globalization on Indigenous Artisans

What challenges do indigenous artisans face due to globalization?
Indigenous artisans face several challenges due to globalization, including competition from cheaper, mass-produced goods that can undercut traditional handmade crafts. Additionally, there is often a loss of cultural identity as artisans may be pressured to alter traditional designs to cater to global markets. Intellectual property rights can also be a significant concern, as traditional designs and techniques may be copied without proper acknowledgment or compensation.
